BROWNFIELD — Acclaimed singer-songwriter and folk/blues guitarist Chris Smither will take the stage at Stone Mountain Arts Center on Friday, Aug. 24.

Over his 40-year musical career, Smither has toured extensively, performing at clubs, concert halls and festivals in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.

He is scheduled to release his 12th studio record, “Hundred Dollar Valentine,” all original songs, on June 19 on Signature Sounds. The CD, according to his website, “sports the unmistakable sound he’s made his trademark: fingerpicked acoustic guitar and evocative sonic textures meshed with spare, brilliant songs, delivered in a bone-wise, hard-won voice.”

Back with his longtime producer, David “Goody” Goodrich, Smither is joined on the CD by some veterans of the Boston rock/pop scene, including Treat Her Right’s  drummer Billy Conway and Jimmy Fitting on harmonica.

Smither, whose primary touchstone is acoustic blues, once described his guitar style as “one third Lightnin’ Hopkins, one-third Mississippi John Hurt and one-third me.”

His  songs have been featured in films and TV shows, and have been covered by Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris and Diana Krall. In 2009, he contributed a short story to “Amplified,” a collection of fiction by performing songwriters, including Mary Gauthier, Robbie Fulks, Jon Langford, Maria McKee and Rhett Miller.
